“Naomi is wonderful! She watched my frenchie for a long period of time and I can’t explain how at peace I felt with her watching him. She is punctual and communicates very well! I highly recommend Naomi! Oliver definitely enjoyed his time with her- Thank you, Naomi!”


“Isabel and Hunter are amazing with our two cats. Our old siamese requires some very significant care as he lives out his golden years, requiring lots of different medical treatments at different times. Our other cat is very shy and particular about her humans (in fact she never lets anyone but my husband, son or I hold her), but she even snuggled with Isabel. I don’t want them to be unavailable when we need them because they’ve become so high in demand that they never have openings, but they are awesome and reliable and responsive and we really can’t say enough nice things about them. :) If you worry about your furbabies like we do when we have to go away, these two are the ones you want caring for them.”


“Alexandra is amazing! I reached out last minute for a few drop-ins over the holiday weekend. She answered right away and was able to work with my schedule. She went out of her way to pick up more food for my kitty and made sure to follow up after each visit. Thank you so much for letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about my baby! I know she was in good hands :)”



“**Here’s a review you can leave on Rover:** We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! Rachel was absolutely amazing with our two pups. She provided constant updates and sent tons of adorable photos, which put our minds completely at ease. Her love and care for animals is evident, and we felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We can't recommend her enough and will definitely book her again for future pet sitting needs!”


“Marissa P. was wonderful and dependable and exceeded our expectations as usual...the cats were comfortable with her and she was very loving to them all!!! Thank you!!!”


“Spencer went above & beyond to care for my son's pup, Athena, this past week. Spencer is a very dedicated dog sitter. He is very responsive to communications and provides timely updates about his drop-in visits. I highly recommend Spencer for anyone else who needs dog care in the south Tampa area!”


“Breanna is kind, professional, and reliable! She dealt with several unexpected mishaps that came up during the visits with patience and poise. Great communication. Would book again and highly recommend Breanna. ☺️”


About: I have been a pet sitter multiple times for family and friends. I have flexibility with my schedule and can handle multiple pets at once. I work in office and remote but love to meet new people and pets in my free time. I'd love to provide services to those who need it like I've done for many year with my family dogs and cats! I will take care of the space the pets will be in for my clients home to make sure its safe and comfortable for the pet while their family is away or busy. I'll ensure it stays clean and all belongings are untouched and tucked away.

“Emilija is amazing. My cat (Kel) is quite shy, but surprisingly warmed up to her quickly. Emilijah was very attentive to Kel, so he grew fond of her. I highly recommend Emilija to look after any of your pets.”


“Taylor was awesome with my dog. I am gone for 12+ hours due to my job and Taylor is the first dog walker I have used where I come home to my dog not being overly energetic. He clearly gets a lot of play time with her!! She is very responsive, professional, and sends the cutest pictures! :)”


About: I am home during the day and have plenty of time to take care of your family's furriest members. I've been taking care of dogs and cats for a few years now and I’m the proud owner of a rambunctious catahoula. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, and other household pets (rabbits and bearded dragons! I can give walks or drop ins during the day. Just let me know if your dog or cat has any special requests and I will make sure to accommodate them. I love getting active with the dogs or lounging on the couch! Your family's special furry friend is in good hands with me! I have plenty of time during the day to make sure your pet is taken care of. I work overnights and I’m available almost any holiday. I love doing long walks or just playing with your pet to make sure they have the attention they need while you’re gone! Your pet is is good hands. I always keep dogs 6 feet away from neighbors and never let them approach another dog. I have gone through 2 levels of dog training with petco.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for all animals. From cuddly lap dogs to energetic adventurers, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I cared for my sweet Shih Tzu for 15 wonderful years until he passed in March 2025, and trained my high-energy golden retriever who’s now 4 years old. My own experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and in tune with dogs at every stage of life. Whether your pup needs a calm, comforting presence or someone to help burn off some energy, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a flexible work schedule so I’m available for week day drop-in’s, walks, etc. any time of day. I also have availability most nights and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Golden loves to play and chase lizards in. I also have 4 chickens that are securely contained inside of a chicken coop.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? With over 10 years of experience and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pet I care for. I grew up on a farm, so animal care has been second nature to me from a very young age. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving senior pets, and I know how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, crate routines, medication administration, and senior care—including mobility support and extra TLC for aging pets. Whether your dog needs a structured walk or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like family * I currently work Monday through Thursday, which allows me to dedicate **Fridays through Sundays fully to pet care**. During those days, I’m available *, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs—whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or extended care. Having open availability on the weekends means I can provide consistent, attentive service without being rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending my free days caring for animals, and I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. --- Would you like to add anything about your experience or the types of pets you care for (e.g., dogs, cats, senior pets)? I can include that too! 1. Pet Sitting (In the Client’s Home) Daily Routine & Responsibilities: Follow the pet’s regular feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. Provide fresh water at all times. Clean litter boxes, cages, or yards as needed. Give affection, attention, and playtime based on the pet’s comfort level. Maintain communication with the pet owner (updates, photos, etc.). Ensure the home stays secure (locking doors, bringing in mail, etc.)

“Ryan is the best! Goes the extra mile to make sure my doggo is taken care of whenever I need him. Would recommend to anyone needing a good walker/sitter that you can count on and trust to treat your pup like his own!”


“Silvana was wonderful. I received daily pictures and updates and came home to happy cats. I was very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care and would highly recommend her for pet sitting needs.”


“Karin was very responsive and very caring with both my kitties! She also sent a lot of pics which was so nice to see being away. Also, my one cat was recently diagnosed with cancer and she made sure to update me on any symptoms, which I so appreciate. I absolutely recommend!”
